ANTISKXDDING ATTACHMENT TO AUTOWHEELS.

To all ywhom may concern Be it, known that I, EDWARD E.

" ih jmsiiun indien ui wi" 'i gagenient with the roadbed and serve to snpport. and hold the wheel against shielding.

In pointing ont more Clearly the distineltive, features and values of my invention. it i will he seen from FigS. and 3, that the flange :n of my ring extends; outwardly he `vond the rim to some distane 1 along the side i of the pneumatic tire and liefs Hat against the saine to a distance near the middle line of the rubber tire. This gre/atl)v braces and Strengthens the tire and the entire wheel, since the ring' is one continuons rigid arch and other objects in the road bed Moreover,

- around the entire eireuniferenee of the wheel i affords a mutual sup` same but prevents the wedging bent sidewise when the Strain eoines upon g them.

To adapt my invention to use on ice. or j aliow the eonieal points of the prode to en providt-rd. whose` l ain aware that engaging pointe nain been applied to ihe rim of a pneumatic tirey wheel and I do not claim this; broadlyn l claim;

l. An antre-kidding' attarhrnent to pneir matie tire wheels. (oneiating oi continuons ring of angle iron cross seetinn having two flanges at right angles to eaeh other, one flange beingf Substantially the same diameter as the rim ol the wheel and at right angles to its plane, and the other Harige extending ont to the middle line of the pneumatic tire and having perforations in the flange radial to the wheel and parallel tu the flange, prods having Shanks arranged in said perforations, attaehing the ring to the wheel.

2. An antieliidding attaehnient to pneir natie tire wheels, eomisting ot' a continuous ring of angle iron cross section having two anges at right, angles to each other, one lana'e being enbstantiaiiy the saine diameter as the rirn of the wheel and at right angles lo its plane, and the other flange extending out to the middle, line of the pneumatic tire and havingr perfor-ations in the flange radial la the wheel and parallel1 to the prode having: Shanks; arranged in. said perilorations. and nnvins` for attaching the rin@r to the wheel, the outer edge of the outer flange,

gage the roadhed beside the outer peripherv f the prem and the pneiiinatie tire being all of the tire. lr. such wie a helical springY l in wound tween its shoulder 3 and the inter edge of the ring (el to ,malin the prode resilient and yield inwardly against the izprinfgs su as to engage the slippery roadbed and till amid breaking the prods.

1n preventing the skidfling on slippery around the shank of the prod beroad beds, I wish to espeeiallyrall attention f to the fact, that the prods in eenling in eontact with the road bed tear it, up but allghtly, and inneh leas than the chain arrangement generally used, and do les harm even than I l the rough blind oallts of lioi.-es1ln e.-1.
